that is michelle obama. we have to remember that most first ladies until the television age never gave a speech. among those who have, there has never been a speaker who could deliver what we just saw. it was not a terribly partisan speech. it did not get into nitty gritty divisive politics, the details in politics. she did make some very simple statements about what her husband has delivered in office. what you had in the room was a real powerful connection. it was tangible. it is real. and it is very hard to judge this from where i'm standing but it felt like she was delivering it onscreen also. it was very difficult to be introducing barack obama but it did have that element of introduction. framed in terms of reminder. one of the most striking passages was when she went into a refrain about why she loves barack obama. that is a difficult piece of writing to, for a wife to say publicly. this is why i love this man. it is difficult to make it convincing in a context, in an arena like this. it was, i think,

michelle obama gave a brilliant speech. she proved what an effective surrogate she is on behalf of her husband. it was an incredibly emotional speech. there was no policy. it was about i love my husband. you can trust my husband. i think clinton will lay out the policy tonight although i think it will be difficult. clinton had many substantial differences in his term with the programs that president obama has laid out thus far. i think we need to think about this in the context of what happened. small business failure rate at a 40-year high. structural unemployment at an all-time high and, by the way, the world economic forum today dropped us from number one in january 2009 in terms of global competitiveness to number seven today. >> peter the president said he needs more time. nobody believes it. i worry we'll see more spending, taxing, regulating and that mr. obama is not going to change his stripes. >> two things. number one, president obama inherited an incredible mess. we went from the clinton years to 20 million jobs
